50 Things To Do When You're Bored

Chapter 41: Stay Alert

A.N: Hey peoples! I was reading the reviews, and a lot of you guys wished me a Happy New Year! Well, I am wishing you guys one right now. You think I would leave you guys to stay up to watch the ball drop with out anything to read? So Happy New Year! I'm spending the rest of 2008 right her on Fan Fiction...

I want to thank Briar! This person has reviewed every single chapter, and is a new reader! But she doesn't have an account, so I can't contact her in anyway. Briar, if you're reading this, thank you so much! And please, if you want me to email you, please give me your email in one of your reviews. But put spaces inbetween because then it won't show up.

Also, I have a lot to tell you guys. Everything is at the end of the chapter. Enjoy!

Alice

"Bella," I said, nudging her softly. It was only ten thirty at night, and already she was dozing off. "C'mon, you really have to stay awake. If Rose and I aren't day dreaming, you can't fall asleep, okay?"

The boys had made us a bet. Who ever could keep Bella up the longest would win, and Bella had agreed that we could do whatever we could to keep her awake. Although Edward disagreed, Bella convinced him that it would be fine. He still didn't like this idea though, but what could he do? Bella didn't mind it. She wanted to stay up late with us anyways. It's not like we had anything better to do.

Bella's eyes opened, glaring at me. "You know it's going to take a whole lot more than shaking me to get me to stay awake." She looked at Rose and yawned. "Rose, wouldn't you do something else to keep me awake?"

"Yeah, I would do so much better. Alice, you know you could too," Rose added, nodding her head. Of course I could do so much better, I was just waiting until she was really dozing off to use it.

I rolled my eyes at Bella, nudging her again. "Of course I can do better. You think I can't? I'm just waiting for you to really doze off."

I could here Emmett's foot steps coming up the stairs. He was going at vampire speed to freak Bella out. He needed surprise on his side, and he was using it to his advantage.

Emmett flew into the room, jumping on the bed. Right in front of Bella too. "Boo!" Bella let out a small shriek as she fell backwards, catching herself once she hit the floor. Emmett blinked and bursted into laughter. "Hahahah."

"Emmett!" Rose exclaimed, smacking him on the arm. Last time I checked, he was suppose to do that while she was sleeping so he could wake her up, not scare the crap out of her. "She wasn't sleeping! Geez. I know you could hear her talking from downstairs."

I don't think he was paying attention to anything Rose said. He was still laughing against the bed, trying to stay up right while Bella climbed back on. Emmett was still chuckling. "Thanks Emmett. Now I think I am going to take back what I said about you guys should try to keep me awake."

"I can't believe you fell off the bed!" He said through his laughs. His breathing became uneven. "Jasper was right after all. Man, I should do that more often."

"No you shouldn't!" I defended, pushing him over. He fell with a thud to the floor, still gripping his sides. "You're lucky Bella isn't one of us. She would have heard and saw you. After, she would beat you senseless."

Edward and Jasper trailed into the room, glancing at Emmett. They shook their heads, not really wanting to know. "You know," Edward suggested, wrapping his arm around Bella. "I could take care of him for you. Just say the word, I'm at your command."

"Of course you are," Jasper snickered.

"Jasper, you shouldn't say anything. You follow Alice's every command," Emmett stated, finally talking again. And yes, Jasper does the things that I tell him too with out any complaint. He just loves me that much.

Rose rolled her eyes at them. "Shoo. You three, get out. Bella is hanging with us right now, and you're going to have to wait until she is free. You'll be waiting for a while."

I turned to look at Emmett. He was staring into space. Well actually, he was just staring at the wall and not responding. I was sure he could hear us too. "Emmett!" I yelled at him, throwing a pillow in his direction. "You can't just go and day dream while your wife is talking to you."

"How rude," Bella snickered. It wasn't really rude, it was just, well, Emmett.

"Yeah Emmett, stay alert," Jasper added. "If Bella is allowing us to keep her awake, then I think that we should be able to stay alert. I mean, it's easier for us to do that than for her to stay conscious." Actually, it might be harder for Emmett to stay alert than for Bella to stay awake.

"Huh, what?" Emmett replied, shaking his head. "Sorry, I was thinking about something..."

"No need to know the details," Edward reminded him, almost glaring. I would feel bad for Edward, but I didn't know what he was thinking. So I couldn't feel sorry for him if I didn't know why I felt sorry for him.

Rose and I exchanged a glance while Emmett tried to catch back on to reality. Edward started to hum Bella's lullaby, and his voice was the only thing that was heard. Bella yawned again and rested her head against Edward's shoulder. Oh no, Bella is not going to sleep now! She can't!

The warm humming of his voice lured Bella into sleep. She wasn't asleep yet, but I could tell she almost was. Her breathing was becoming more even and she didn't fidget as much.

I hopped off the bed and ran downstairs, almost colliding with Carlisle in the kitchen. "Whoops, sorry," I apologized.

"It's okay, just watch where you're going."

I grabbed a plastic bag, grabbed ice trays from the freezer and cracked the ice into the bag. As long as I held the ice, it wouldn't melt. Since it was summer, it was warmer than usual and the ice would melt. Not fast, but it would melt leaving a trail of water behind me. And I did not want that.

Running back up the stairs, I was careful to make sure none of the ice would fall out. I smirked, running into the room. I had to finish everything in seconds to make sure it worked. I didn't want Edward stopping me.

Taking the bag of ice, I ran around to the other side of the bed. Everyone besides Emmett and Jasper had their backs faced toward me since they were lounging. I pulled the neckline of Bella's shirt open a little bit and dumped the ice bag. I didn't see it, but I knew her eyes flew open the second she felt the coldness.

Sure, the cold wouldn't do anything since she was used to us touching her. But we weren't as cold as ice, and we weren't wet on a daily basis.

She shrieked, getting up and letting the ice cubes out. Emmett and Jasper howled with laughter as Rosalie just watched Bella make a big deal out of it. Edward just sighed and helped get the ice cubes out. "Was that really necessary, Alice? She was still awake, and you just freaked her out."

Bella continued to glare at me, throwing a few ice cubes my way. I pouted, a smirk growing from that. "I told you I could do better."
